How to run tomcat as service

Make sure there is a valid user "tomcat" and that this user has rw permissions in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf and $CATALINA_HOME/logs directories. Also make sure that $JAVA_HOME is set. You will start Tomcat as user "tomcat" to avoid running it as root.

Save the following scripts as /etc/init.d/tomcat.They will automatically be read and run at boot time. Check the log files if it does not start properly.


Do like below for rc3.d rc5.d rc4.d
Make a link to it from /etc/rc5.d such as:

cd /etc/rc5.d
sudo ln -s ../init.d/tomcat S71tomcat

Script for init.d

#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat        where is tomcat mention is script that need to replace with user
#
# chkconfig: 345 20 80
# description:     Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.
